The nourishment of the consciousness soul is ideas that shine into it out of the future. Such ideas are the contents of anthroposophical spiritual science. The essential nature and significance of these contents reveal themselves only through vigorous thinking. In imaginatively thinking intuitive beholding they enliven feeling and give impulse to willing. Just as sense-perception does, so too do the results of spiritual research stimulate thinking. But in the conscious activity of thinking, the I lives — the kernel of being of the human being. The I can decide in freedom whether it will make the idea-forms of spiritual research its own, or whether it will remain in mere confrontation with the world of appearances. The consciousness soul opens the path to an experience of spirit-contents in freedom. Out of this fully human experience there grows a new artistic creative force, which can prove fruitful — and thereby true — in all spheres of life: in medicine, for instance, as the art of healing; in education as the art of upbringing; in human community life as the art of social living; in agriculture as the art of farming.
